Dominion Energy (D - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 30. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis energy company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.19 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +12.3%.

Revenues are expected to be $4.78 billion, up 5.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Dominion Energy?For Dominion Energy, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.29%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that Dominion Energy will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Dominion Energy would post earnings of $0.73 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.79, delivering a surprise of +8.22%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Dominion Energy appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAmong the stocks in the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry, WEC Energy Group (WEC - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.95 per share for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +14.5%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $2.23 billion, up 6% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for WEC Energy has been revised 2.4% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +2.89%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that WEC Energy will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Dominion Energy (D - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry.

This energy company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 7.48%.

For the most recent quarter, Dominion Energy was expected to post earnings of $0.73 per share, but it reported $0.79 per share instead, representing a surprise of 8.22%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.89 per share, while it actually produced $0.95 per share, a surprise of 6.74%.

Price and EPS Surprise

With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Dominion Energy. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Dominion Energy currently has an Earnings ESP of +1.03%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on October 30, 2026.

With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) will host its third-quarter 2026 earnings call at 11 a.m. ET on Friday, October 30, 2026. Management will discuss matters of interest to financial and other stakeholders including recent financial results. A live webcast of the conference call, including accompanying slides and other financial information, will be available on the investor information pages at investors.dominionenergy.com. For individuals who prefer to join via telephone.

Key Takeaways Dominion Energy had 53.8 GW of contracted data center capacity as of July 2026, up 11% from December 2025. Dominion Energy plans to invest $65B through 2030 to expand infrastructure for rising electricity demand. Dominion Energy retained its 5-7% long-term operating earnings growth outlook through 2030. Dominion Energy (D - Free Report) is positioned to benefit from rising electricity demand driven by the expansion of data centers in Virginia. Data-center growth is contributing to higher electricity sales and peak demand across Dominion’s service territory.

Dominion Energy Virginia had approximately 53.8 gigawatts (GW) of contracted data-center capacity as of July 2026, up about 5.3 GW or 11% from December 2025. The total included 12 GW under electric service agreements (ESAs), 9.4 GW under construction letters of authorization and 32.4 GW under substation engineering letters of authorization. Dominion also noted that data-center customers continue to view Virginia’s network density, connectivity and established ecosystem as key advantages. The company retained its 5-7% long-term operating earnings growth outlook through 2030.

The company is expanding its infrastructure to accommodate rising electricity demand and plans to invest $65 billion through 2030. Its large-load contracting framework also includes mechanisms to recover infrastructure costs from data-center customers, helping reduce the risk of stranded costs and cost shifts to existing customers. Dominion and Santee Cooper received regulatory approval to jointly develop the 2,200-megawatt Canadys Station natural gas-fired combined-cycle facility in South Carolina to support rising electricity demand.

Overall, Dominion’s expanding data-center pipeline, rising electricity demand and infrastructure investments can support rate-base expansion, revenue growth and long-term earnings potential.

Rising Data-Center Demand Drives Utility GrowthRising data center demand is increasing electricity consumption, creating opportunities for utilities to expand infrastructure and regulated investments. This can support electricity sales, rate-base growth and stronger long-term earnings prospects.

FirstEnergy Corp. (FE - Free Report) is capitalizing on rising data-center power demand, as its contracted and pipeline load increased to 24.8 GWs, marking about 30% growth from the first quarter.

PPL Corporation (PPL - Free Report) benefits from rising data-center demand across Pennsylvania and Kentucky, with nearly 31.8 GW of potential large-load demand in Pennsylvania, including nearly 11 GW under signed ESAs.

D’s Zacks Rank

Two household-name stocks with very different business models happen to share one trait right now: yields high enough that a combined $150,000 stake clears a specific monthly income threshold with room to spare.

This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Income investors think in monthly cash flow. Put $150,000 to work across the right two dividend payers and the mailbox starts producing roughly $500 a month in checks that keep arriving whether the S&P 500 is ripping to new highs or sliding into a correction. That is the entire pitch behind this exercise: Two U.S.-listed names, $75,000 in each and a blended yield high enough to hit the target without reaching into fragile double-digit payers.

The two tickers under the microscope are Dominion Energy (NYSE:D | D Price Prediction) and Ford (NYSE:F). Both are large-cap, both are cash-generative, and both currently trade at price points that push their forward yields well above the broad market. Here is what a $75,000 stake in each would produce in annual passive income, working from lowest yield up to highest.

Stock #1: Dominion Energy Yield: ~4.37% Shares for $75,000: 1,226.89 Annual Passive Income: ~$3,275.80 Dominion is a regulated electric and gas utility serving Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with its largest segment sitting directly under the world’s densest concentration of hyperscale data centers in Loudoun County, Virginia. Management reported more than 53 gigawatts of data center capacity in various stages of contracting, with roughly 12 gigawatts already under electric service agreements. That load growth is why the capex plan is so aggressive and why the yield stays elevated even as the business expands.

The dividend has been a flat 66 cents quarterly since March 2022, annualizing to $2.67. Coverage looks orderly: 2026 operating EPS guidance of $3.45 to $3.69 puts the payout ratio in the ~75% range, standard for a regulated utility. On the July call, CFO Steven Ridge said “we are reaffirming all financial guidance provided on our fourth quarter earnings call, including operating earnings, credit, dividend, and long-term growth guidance.”

The overhang is the pending $66.8 billion merger with NextEra Energy, still awaiting shareholder and regulatory approvals, plus a $820 million RNG write-down in Q2. Investors should track both alongside the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind build, which management said is 81% complete.

Stock #2: Ford Yield: 5.89% Shares for $75,000: 5,787.04 Annual Passive Income: ~$3,472.22 Ford runs three operating segments: Ford Blue (ICE and hybrids), Ford Pro (commercial vehicles and high-margin software) and Ford Model e (EVs), backed by Ford Credit. The yield sits this high because the share price traded at $12.71 on Friday, Sept. 25, weighed down by cyclical auto exposure, tariff friction and continuing losses in the EV unit. The regular quarterly dividend has held at 15 cents per share, annualizing to 60 cents.

On the coverage question, Ford’s Q2 2026 update raised full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10 billion to $11 billion and adjusted free cash flow to $6 billion to $7 billion, against a payout that consumes a fraction of that cash. CFO Sherry House told analysts, “We remain committed to our investment grade rating in returning capital as shareholders.” She also flagged $22.3 billion in cash and $43.4 billion in total liquidity. Ford has returned more than $16 billion through dividends and anti-dilutive share repurchases over the last five years.

The risks are material: more than $2 billion in commodity headwinds this year, Model e losses of $4 billion to $4.5 billion in 2026, and a Novelis-linked supply disruption. Ford stock also dipped ahead of the Trump-Xi dinner on trade concerns.

Combined Income Summary Name Yield Annual Dividend Income Dominion Energy ~4.37% ~$3,275.80 Ford 5.89% ~$3,472.22 Total ~4.50% ~$6,748.02 Combined, these two positions generate roughly $6,748 in annual passive income on a $150,000 investment, a blended yield near 4.50%. Ford contributes about $3,472, and Dominion adds roughly $3,276, clearing the $500-a-month target with cushion left over.

The appeal of that cushion is compounding optionality. Reinvested through dividend reinvestment plans, an extra few hundred dollars a year of overshoot buys additional fractional shares at whatever price the market offers, quietly lifting the forward income stream every quarter. That is the mechanical advantage income equities hold over illiquid alternatives: cash lands on a schedule, and the investor decides what to do with it.

The global energy transition is accelerating, leaving investors to choose between equipment manufacturers and utility operators. Should you bet on GE Vernova (GEV +0.89%) or NextEra Energy (NEE -1.01%) for your portfolio?

GE Vernova provides the hardware and services that power the grid, while NextEra Energy is a leading utility and renewable developer. Though they operate in different parts of the power sector, both companies benefit from rising electricity demand. We will look at their financial health and growth prospects to see which stock is the better choice.

The case for GE VernovaGE Vernova provides products and services to generate, transfer, and store electricity. The company technology generates about 25% of the world's power for utilities and industrial users. It has engaged in power collaborations with Chevron (CVX -0.28%) while managing a legal dispute with Vineyard Wind 1 LLC.

In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $38.1 billion, representing approximately 8.9% growth. The company reported net income of roughly $4.9 billion. This resulted in a net margin, which measures how much profit is kept from each dollar of sales, of close to 12.8%.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is 0.0x, meaning the company carries no total debt relative to its equity. The current ratio is approximately 1.0x, which measures its ability to pay short-term bills with liquid assets. Free cash flow, calculated as cash from operations minus capital spending, was nearly $3.7 billion.

The case for NextEra EnergyNextEra Energy operates Florida Power & Light and a major renewable energy arm. It serves over 6 million customer accounts and is currently working to acquire Dominion Energy (D -1.00%). This deal would expand its presence among electric utility stocks and clean energy developers.

In FY 2025, revenue reached approximately $27.5 billion, reflecting growth of roughly 11%. Net income for the period was nearly $6.8 billion. This produced a net margin of around 20%, reflecting strong profitability across its segments.

According to the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is 1.8x, indicating total debt is nearly twice the value of shareholder equity. The current ratio is roughly 0.6x, showing that short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets. Free cash flow was approximately $3.2 billion for the year.

Risk profile comparisonGE Vernova faces risks from supply chain volatility, specifically regarding semiconductor chips and critical raw materials. It also faces competition from government-sponsored international companies in advanced energy systems. Regulatory risks, including antitrust litigation and potential environmental liabilities, could also impact its financial performance.

NextEra Energy faces regulatory hurdles, especially regarding rate cases and the acquisition of Dominion Energy. Operational risks at its nuclear facilities and commodity price volatility for natural gas add further complexity. Development delays for new solar and wind projects also remain a consistent threat to growth.

Valuation comparisonNextEra Energy appears cheaper based on future earnings estimates, while GE Vernova carries a higher premium despite its stronger balance sheet.

MetricGE VernovaNextEra EnergyForward P/E31.2x20.5xP/S ratio6.7x6.3xValuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

After its most recent quarter, GE Vernova's case has rarely looked stronger, making it my pick today. Every utility racing to meet surging electricity demand needs the gas turbines, grid equipment, and electrification infrastructure that GE Vernova manufactures, and that demand keeps accelerating. Its orders more than doubled year over year, and the company dramatically raised free cash flow guidance. This is one of the most compelling industrial growth stories in the market right now.

NextEra is making steady progress. Earnings grew at a healthy pace year over year and Florida Power & Light continues adding customers. That said, NextEra is in the middle of a complicated merger with Dominion Energy that won't close until late 2027 at the earliest. Large utility mergers take time, introduce regulatory risk, and consume management attention in ways that can slow momentum.

GE Vernova is focused entirely on execution right now, and the results keep proving it. Patient investors who want exposure to the energy transition without the complexity of a major merger will find GE Vernova the cleaner, more focused bet.

Key Takeaways D-Wave Quantum expects most 2026 revenues in Q4 as two annealing systems reach acceptance milestones. QBTS expenses remain elevated as R&D, G&A and sales and marketing costs continue to rise. D-Wave Quantum's recurring QCaaS revenues are not yet large enough to offset volatile system sales. D-Wave Quantum’s (QBTS - Free Report) revenues remain uneven and dependent on large system contracts, making quarterly performance susceptible to volatility. System sales fell to just $0.3 million in the first half of 2026 from $13.7 million a year earlier. 

The company expects most fiscal 2026 revenues in the fourth quarter as two annealing systems reach acceptance milestones. Any delays in installation or calibration could defer some of these revenues to 2027. Although backlog and deferred revenues provide some future visibility, recurring QCaaS revenues are not yet large enough to offset fluctuations in system sales. 

Additionally, D-Wave’s gate-model business is at an early stage, with targets extending through 2032 and requiring continued progress in device fabrication, packaging and control-system scaling. Delays in foundry capacity, multi-chip interconnects or customer adoption could further postpone gate-model QCaaS revenues and system sales. 

Expense intensity also remains high as the company funds both near-term commercialization and a multi-year technology roadmap. Second-quarter 2026 operating expenses rose 93% year over year, led by higher R&D, G&A and sales and marketing costs, including increased headcount, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization. The company expects these expenses to remain elevated, making stronger recurring revenue growth important for improving profitability.

Peer UpdateIonQ’s (IONQ - Free Report) revenue recognition depends on delivery schedules and performance obligations, even though larger platform agreements increase contract size and product breadth. In the second quarter, remaining performance obligations increased to $485 million from $470 million in the first quarter. 

However, about half is expected to convert to revenues within the next 12 months. IonQ continues to report significant losses as it invests in R&D and manufacturing. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $120.3 million in the second quarter, while R&D expenses rose to $160.6 million, keeping profitability dependent on stronger revenue growth. Also, IonQ’s roadmap depends on successful fabrication, commissioning and deployment of next-generation systems. Any delay could increase costs and defer revenue recognition.

Rigetti’s (RGTI - Free Report) revenue profile remains tied to the timing of system deliveries and milestone-based development work rather than recurring commercial usage. Revenues reached $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, up from $1.8 million a year earlier, driven mainly by sales of 9-qubit Novera systems and related products. 

However, concentration remains high, with one customer accounting for 64% of second-quarter 2026 revenues and another for 16%. Rigetti continues to fund a large research and infrastructure program against a small revenue base. 

Operating expenses rose 48% year over year to $30.3 million, including a 53% increase in R&D to $20.7 million. Rigetti’s path to quantum advantage still requires simultaneous progress in scale, fidelity, coherence, controls and error correction.

Dominion Energy News Summary Here are the key news stories impacting Dominion Energy this week:

Positive Sentiment: Dominion and NextEra offered significant new incentives ahead of a regulatory vote, including extending a $10 monthly residential bill credit from two years to four, increasing Dominion’s EnergyShare assistance by $100 million through 2038, and promising customers will not bear merger-related costs. Dominion and NextEra Virginia benefits package Positive Sentiment: The companies also proposed 1,000 new Virginia jobs, a shareholder-funded co-headquarters tower in Richmond, expanded workforce development, and a supplier program worth up to $1 billion annually for five years. These commitments could help address concerns from Virginia policymakers and improve the merger’s approval odds. Dominion and NextEra supplier program Neutral Sentiment: The merger remains subject to regulatory approval, and the companies’ decision to increase concessions highlights the difficulty of securing support from Virginia’s governor, legislators, and utility regulators. The added benefits could reduce political resistance but may also increase execution and financial commitments for the combined company. Expanded state benefits for merger Negative Sentiment: Critics argue the transaction could lead to higher electricity bills and more service shutoffs. Reports that Virginia customers incurred billions in unexpected fuel charges after Dominion forecast misses add to concerns about the company’s regulatory record and could make approval more challenging. Dominion fuel charge report Negative Sentiment: Debate over Dominion’s proposed large gas plant amid Virginia’s strengthened climate law adds another layer of environmental and regulatory risk. Recent localized outages affecting thousands of customers are a smaller but additional operational concern.

Enhanced package would deliver long-term residential bill relief, create 1,000 new direct jobs in Virginia, accelerate clean energy development and build a new shareholder-funded co-headquarters tower for the combined company in downtown Richmond

Puts customers first by doubling residential bill credits from two years to four years, expanding low-income financial assistance by increasing EnergyShare, Dominion Energy's shareholder-funded energy bill assistance program, by $100 million through 2038 and holding customers harmless from merger costs. Delivers long-term affordability benefits by leveraging the combined company's scale to buy, build, finance and operate more efficiently — a model demonstrated by Florida Power & Light Company's track record of delivering typical residential bills more than 37% below the national average and reliability more than 60% better than the national average. Regular reviews by the Virginia State Corporation Commission will set base rates and ensure accountability. Protects Virginia's families and small businesses by reaffirming support for the efforts of the State Corporation Commission, the General Assembly and the Governor to protect residential and business customers from costs associated with serving data centers. Builds more clean energy and battery storage faster by accelerating solar, storage and other resources in Virginia to affordably power the Commonwealth's growth, advance the Virginia Clean Economy Act and reduce reliance on expensive imported power. Positions Virginia as a global energy leader by maintaining current employee headcount levels in Virginia for five years, bringing 1,000 new direct jobs to the Commonwealth, building a new shareholder-funded co-headquarters tower for the combined company in Richmond and supporting work in renewable energy development and supply chain management, battery storage operations, nuclear and small modular reactor innovation, enterprise technology and cybersecurity, among others. Invests in Virginia's workforce and supply chain through a $100 million workforce development fund, up to a $1 billion annual, five-year Virginia Supplier Program and a new annual global energy summit in Virginia. Keeps Dominion Energy Virginia local by preserving its name, local leadership, employee workforce and accountability to the State Corporation Commission. , /PRNewswire/ -- In direct response to feedback from policymakers and other stakeholders, NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) and Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE: D) today announced a transformational Virginia benefits package as part of their proposed combination, designed to put customers first while positioning the Commonwealth as a global energy leader with long-term bill relief for residential customers, long-term affordability benefits, data center cost protections, accelerated clean energy deployment and thousands of new direct and indirect jobs in Richmond and across the Commonwealth.

The package is organized around the priorities Virginians have made clear: affordability, jobs and building more clean energy and battery storage faster to decrease reliance on expensive imports. It puts customers first by proposing four years of residential bill credits, delivering long-term affordability benefits, expanding low-income financial assistance and ensuring data centers pay their fair share. At the same time, it would position Virginia as a global energy leader, with a major new NextEra Energy presence in Richmond, significant new jobs across Virginia, a stronger local supply chain and national-scale energy innovation anchored in the Commonwealth.

"This is a Virginia-first package, and it starts with customers," said John Ketchum, chairman, president and CEO of NextEra Energy. "We are proposing to double residential bill relief from two years to four years, along with expanded low-income financial assistance and long-term affordability benefits. We are also reaffirming our support for the State Corporation Commission, Governor and General Assembly's efforts to protect residential and small business customers from costs associated with serving data centers. Just as important, this package would help Virginia build more of the clean energy and infrastructure it needs faster, so the Commonwealth can reduce its reliance on expensive imported power. And it would do that while positioning Virginia as a major energy leader, bringing NextEra Energy jobs, good-paying supplier jobs, workforce investment, economic development and national-scale energy technology and innovation to Virginia. This is the kind of customer-focused, job-creating package this combination makes possible."

"Dominion Energy Virginia will remain locally led, separately regulated and accountable to the State Corporation Commission," said Robert Blue, chair, president and CEO of Dominion Energy. "The same local teams, led by Ed Baine, that customers know and trust will continue serving the Commonwealth. This package builds on that foundation by adding NextEra Energy's scale, capital and capabilities to help support Virginia's growth while keeping customers, reliability and affordability at the center of everything we do. It brings new jobs, maintains our existing Virginia employee headcount levels for five years and positions the Commonwealth to become a global energy leader. The benefits to our customers and the Commonwealth from this combination are things we cannot deliver on our own."

Putting customers first
Under the expanded package, the companies would seek to double residential bill relief, extending $10 per month in bill credits from the previously proposed two years to four years, by working with the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to redirect the portion of credits that would otherwise go to large-scale data centers toward additional relief for residential customers and increasing the aggregate shareholder-funded Virginia customer credit amount.

The companies would also expand low-income financial assistance by increasing EnergyShare, Dominion Energy's shareholder-funded energy bill assistance program, by $100 million through 2038 and reaffirm their existing commitment to hold customers harmless from all merger costs. Customers will not pay one cent for this combination.

The companies said the package would support long-term affordability by using the combined company's scale to buy, build, finance and operate more efficiently over time, with future base rates continuing to be set by the SCC once every two years. When combined with the credits, customers are receiving long-term affordability benefits that a standalone Dominion Energy cannot offer.

The benefits of scale
The long-term customer benefits in the expanded package are grounded in NextEra Energy's operating track record and scale advantages that have translated into lower costs and stronger outcomes for customers over time. The ability to buy, build, operate and finance more efficiently helps drive affordability over the long term.

Since 2006, NextEra Energy's utility subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), has increased customer accounts by more than 36% and generation capacity by more than 60%, while improving reliability by more than 40% and lowering bills by 20% in real dollars. Today, FPL's non-fuel operations and maintenance expense is more than 70% below the national average, its typical residential bills are 37% below the national average, and its reliability is more than 60% better than the national average, all while making investments in affordable generation to keep pace with increasing electric demand in the 14th largest economy in the world.

While Dominion Energy Virginia would remain locally led, separately regulated and accountable to the SCC, those same scale advantages and operating efficiencies are some of the core long-term benefits NextEra Energy would bring to Virginia. 

Ensuring data centers pay their fair share
NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy also reaffirmed their support for the efforts of the SCC, General Assembly and Governor to protect residential and small business customers from costs associated with serving data centers.

The companies said that principle is consistent with Dominion Energy's GS-5 rate class, FPL's large-load tariff (which is one of the most protective in the nation), both companies' support for the Ratepayer Protection Pledge and Virginia's recently passed legislation, which reinforces that data centers should pay their fair share.

Building more clean energy and infrastructure faster
The expanded package would help accelerate the buildout of Virginia generation, including solar, storage, dispatchable resources and nuclear, while leveraging the combined company's existing Virginia assets, like the Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center, to support reliability as the Commonwealth builds the next generation of energy infrastructure.

The companies would also leverage their combined experience, supply chain, construction platform and scale to accelerate renewable energy and storage development in accordance with the Virginia Clean Economy Act.

"Virginia should not have to choose between affordability, reliability and clean energy," Blue said. "The answer is to build affordably, build faster and build in a way that protects customers."

Making Virginia a global energy leader
The expanded package would position Virginia, anchored by Richmond and connected to communities across the Commonwealth, as a major center for the future of energy.

NextEra Energy would maintain current employee headcount levels in Virginia for five years, add 600 new NextEra Energy jobs in Virginia and work with suppliers who are expected to bring 400 additional jobs to the Commonwealth. NextEra Energy also would build, at its shareholders' expense, a new NextEra Energy office tower in Richmond beside the existing Dominion Energy headquarters building as a part of the combined company's co-headquarters to accommodate the new jobs as well as existing Dominion Energy jobs and future growth.

The new Richmond presence would support work in renewable energy development and supply chain management, battery storage operations, nuclear and small modular reactor innovation, enterprise technology and cybersecurity, among others.

The companies also would host an annual global energy summit in Virginia, bringing chief executives, investors and policymakers to focus on innovation, technology and the energy infrastructure required to power economic growth.

"Virginia already leads in technology and defense," Ketchum said. "With this combination, Virginia can also lead in energy."

Investing in Virginia workers and suppliers
The companies would contribute $100 million to directly support workforce development in Virginia. The investment would include working with union partners to support career development, hands-on training and apprenticeships and establish a newly created independent organization to operate a workforce development fund for Virginia, governed by a board drawn from the Commonwealth's trade schools, colleges, universities, technical colleges and community colleges, directed at training Virginians for the jobs this global leadership opportunity would create.

The companies would establish up to a $1 billion annual, five-year Virginia Supplier Program through spending commitments that support cost-competitive contractors, suppliers and service providers doing business in Virginia. They would use the combined company's purchasing scale to bring suppliers, vendors and engineering and construction partners into the state, expand the role of the Port of Virginia in the energy supply chain and hire local firms and workers to help build the new NextEra Energy office tower. Already, more than nine other companies intend to establish or expand their presence in Virginia if the combination is approved, bringing additional investment and good-paying jobs to the Commonwealth.

Keeping Dominion Energy Virginia local
The expanded package builds on existing commitments to maintain dual headquarters in Richmond and Juno Beach, preserve Dominion Energy Virginia's local leadership, workforce, oversight and energy mix, maintain the Virginia-based board of directors for Dominion Energy Virginia just as it is today and keep Dominion Energy Virginia locally led, separately regulated and accountable to the SCC.

Dominion Energy Virginia would retain its name. Ed Baine would continue to lead Dominion Energy Virginia. Dominion Energy Virginia's president would remain a Virginia resident. Bob Blue would lead all NextEra Energy regulated utilities. NextEra Energy's CEO would maintain a Virginia residence.

The companies also reaffirmed their commitment to enhanced Virginia storm response and mutual aid, with absolutely no Virginia funding for Florida storm restoration.

Building something greater together
"This package answers the central question before Virginia: how do we keep bills affordable, protect customers, create jobs and build the energy infrastructure the Commonwealth needs to grow while driving energy independence?" Ketchum said. "The answer is a stronger Dominion Energy Virginia, still local, still regulated in Virginia, with the scale, low-cost platform and capabilities of NextEra Energy behind it."

Blue added, "This combination is about building something greater together for Virginia: stronger customer benefits, more jobs, more clean energy, more local investment and a utility that remains focused on the customers and communities it serves."

Regulatory review and approvals
The proposed combination remains subject to required regulatory approvals, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and other customary closing conditions. The companies today submitted additional information regarding this enhanced Virginia benefits package to the SCC.

These commitments are contingent upon approval and closing of the proposed combination. In the event of any inconsistency, the commitments contained in the companies' regulatory filings, as approved by the applicable regulatory authorities, will govern.

The companies continue to expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2027.
